The Marstadter See was created several centuries ago southeast of the Lauda-Königshofener hamlet of Marstadt.
location
The 1.9 hectare Marstadter See is located in the Messelhausen subdivision of the city of Lauda-Königshofen at about 315 m above sea level. NHN in a bay of the Jungholz forest about half a kilometer southeast of the hamlet of Marstadt. The five-kilometer-long Wurmgraben flows northwards from it , which first runs through the Marstadter and then the Zimmerer Grund , before flowing into the Wittigbach from the left , which in turn drains via the Grünbach to the Tauber near Gerlachsheim.
A tree-lined headland protrudes into the lake from the southwest with a building near the top and a jetty towards the middle of the lake. In the western part there is a small tree island. There is a small wetland area at the inflow and outflow.
history
The lake was created several centuries ago. Exact dating is not possible.
In 1973 an association was founded which restored the lake before it threatened to silt up. In addition, the association dedicated itself to the task of permanently preserving Lake Marstadter and protecting and caring for its flora and fauna. By 1978 a local recreation area was created around the Marstadter See. In 2014 the dam was comprehensively repaired.
